Just a suggestion for FARR (and other softwares) : would it be possible to have the main window open up as soon as one single left-click on the tray icon ? Currently it's RMB + select corresponding menu item. I know there is a keyboard shortcut, but when one want to keep the hand on the mouse, it's a plus.

MerleOne: You can double-click the tray icon and farr will come up.I think it's better for you to do one more click, than changing that and going against the default behaviour of tray icons. I hate it when they are activated by only one click (like flashget... )

Ideas to improve the usability:1. pause searching when pressing "alt" or "ctrl" or "shift". The correct program won't ran away when u are going to launch it.2. I found that drag and drop for the first item is not working but the others are fine... is that a bug?

Really nice job sri and it's cool that you went so far to create and share your own aliases. Actually that's what i was going to add -- rather than have them paste your created aliases into theirs, FARR v2 was specifically designed to facilitate alias sharing, and so the better way to do this is for you to go to your myaliases.alias file in the FARR directory and upload that file for people to download. Just upload it with a different name like sri.alias and instruct others to download it and put it in their FARR subdirectory Aliases\Installed. After that they can restart FARR and have all the aliases you've created.

We are at the very beginning of time for the human race. It is not unreasonable that we grapple with problems. But there are tens of thousands of years in the future. Our responsibility is to do what we can, learn what we can, improve the solutions, and pass them on. --- Richard Feynman (1918-1988)
